Hello everyone,
I've been working on this idea for a while, and most of you have described the same trap. You need a volunteer to run one or several events, and the only way to let them is to hand over your whole contact database and your finances. But there are different events and different needs. So I'd like to test the shape with you before we build it.
The idea is to maintain the current role of Event Manager, which currently grants access to all events. However, you can also limit this access and assign the person to specific events by choosing from one of three levels of access:
- Check-in assistant - welcome people at the door, handle walk-ins. Sees their assigned events and who's registered. Checks people in, signs up whoever turns up, takes payment at the door. Cannot edit the event or its registrations.
- Registration manager -…

I agree with this need as all the members of a HOA should all be empowered to create events in their association. To limit it to just one person is illogical and to give everyone the much too powerful capabilities attached to the "Event Manager" designation is malpractice. As it is now the Events functionality of the website is unusable for my purpose. There have been a few work arounds published by frustrated users in the attempt to make this function work:
1. Embed a Google calendar in the website and lose the Wild Apricot gadget. Members can add events which can then be sent to the admin for a manual entry.
2. Subscribe to the Teamup shared calendar and embed it in the website. It also must inform the admin to do a manual event entry.
Of course at a certain point when you find that you have to replace Wild Apricots functionality with other apps to make the site work you will eventually come to the conclusion that replacing the whole website and moving to another host is the better solution. -

Even though it is not a direct implementation, I hope this could be helpful:
We just launched integration with Integromat platform, which helps to build automated workflows. We also provide several templates for quick start, and one of them allows to copy google calendar events into WA events. So if you share a google calendar for events submission, then the scenario could copy submitted events into your Wild Apricot account.
You can try this integration by this link https://www.integromat.com/en/integration/2275-copy-google-calendar-into-wild-apricot-eventsedwardsproul

This might be one of the most serious flaws in the Wild Apricot system and it seems that it has been around for a long time. The developers seem to not take this flaw seriously and as far as I can tell they have done nothing about it. This is strange since the solution of making a subset of the Events Admin designation with limited rights seems to be an easy fix. Does anyone know of a competitor MMS that does have this capability?
